NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)
TRYING TO BARGAIN
“Sorry Your Majesty. I know I am guilty of trusting Queen Elizabeth so much and trying to betray Her Majesty's trust all along. As His Majesty had expected before. The person who had already ordered me to poison empress Deanda was Queen consort Eliana.” Seeing that there was no hope left if he continued to rely on Eliana, Avitus rounded his resolve to turn around, trying to dispose of all his ego and pride, immediately admitting his guilt to Alvero, and pleading for his forgiveness, to have the opportunity to save his wife and children.
“Without you opening your dirty mouth! I already know that the mastermind behind all this is Eliana!” Alvero said scrupulously as well as underestimating Avitus's desperate attitude.
“Your Highness, Queen Dowager Eliana did that to frame Her Majesty. The Queen Dowager hopes that with the wounding or death of Empress Deanda, the Gracetian people will accuse Her Majesty of deliberately doing so in order to quickly marry Miss Alaya, the mistress of Her Majesty.” Avitus tries to melt Alvero's heart by adding info about Eliana's plans to Alvero and Deanda.
Hearing the words from Avitus, Alvero took a deep breath. He knew that everything Avitus had said was exactly what he had been thinking. But Alvero did not expect, hearing what Avitus said, still made his chest shake violently because Eliana intended to hurt Deanda in such a way as to think she and Alaya were a couple who were having an affair.
Hmh! Truly a rotten hearted woman! It could be possible to create a scenario for me to turn away from Deanda, and then try to accuse me of harming my wife so that I can be with my affair! What Eliana thinks is all men are jerks who easily renege on the promise of loyalty to their partner! Women like Eliana are really household destroyers people should get rid of immediately!
Alvero cursed inwardly with his eyes looking towards Avitus in disgust, given how a man like Avitus who he knew so loved his son and wife could be involved in cooperation with an evil woman like Eliana.
If Alvero did not want Deanda to be disappointed in him as a Gracetian king who acted violently, it seems that Alvero now also wants to directly give orders for the death penalty to Avitus.
After all, the death penalty was too easy for him. To me, by seeing his wife's child die at the hands of Eliana, the sentence was far more severe than a death sentence. Dare to betray me just because he was tempted by the wealth he would use with his wife. And now, his wife's son is under Eliana's control. Please enjoy the suffering you created for yourself Avitus!
Alvero again said in his heart with no sympathy at all to see the figure of Avitus.
Alvero looked at Avitus with a satisfied heart, seeing how Avitus' punishment, would be even more severe than the death penalty he could give Avitus. Feel the sadness, regret, fear of being abandoned by those he loves in a horrible way.
What the hell is going on? Seeing how furious his majesty was, was it true that his majesty intended to get rid of empress Deanda? Is it really just a misconception that your highness fell in love with Miss Alaya and made her a mistress? But... how is it possible? While they look so friendly, like two people who are kasmaran. Or is it that the noble pretended to be angry to look like a king who loved his empress so much? Trying to hide her affair? Because until now it is a noble romantic relationship and Miss Alaya is not yet known to many people.
Various questions arose in Avitus's mind about the relationship between Alvero and Deanda, making Avitus even more distressed.
“What laughable! All of you traitors are actually digging your own graves! Erich! Immediately withdraw all our men from Avitus' house! Let the serpent woman do whatever she pleases to the child and wife of Avitus! I no longer want to interfere with their affairs!” Alvero said as he began to step his foot to leave.
"Are you wrong to ask for help from me? After you intend to kill my wife? Don't dream! Until you cry blood! I won't let you loose and save your wife! Please feel what it would be like to be abandoned by a wife and child you love so much! Live with the guilt of making your loved ones the result of your greed!" Alvero, who had turned her body, said without looking back.
"Your Majesty! Help u! I was willing to bear all the punishment, even if it was a death sentence. My wife and children are innocent! Please, Your Majesty's generosity. I will exchange it for the info required by His Majesty." Avitus said as he tried to bend his body in a pleading tone, his cry could no longer be held, his tears flowed profusely, imagining that at this time, it could have been at any time a bullet went through the head of his son and wife.
Ever since he decided to devote himself to Eliana, Avitus had never told the matter to his wife's son, because Avitus knew, if his wife heard about it, she would definitely object and not support him.
Earlier this morning before leaving for work, Avitus told his wife to get ready soon, because in the afternoon they had to leave the city of Tavisha on the grounds that there was a murderer who was chasing him and wanted to kill him.
Without a hint of suspicion, Avitus' wife immediately did as her husband asked. However, when Avitus' wife was making improvements, suddenly a group of people entered the house by force and took them hostage.
Eliana gave the order, once Avitus was done with his duties and returned home, they were ordered to immediately get rid of Avitus, his wife and also his son. That would make it easy for Eliana to throw responsibility at Avitus on grounds of grudge, personally, as people question about what caused Avitus to poison Deanda.
In addition, Eliana prepared another scenario, letting people think that Avitus had deliberately poisoned Deanda at Alvero's behest, therefore Eliana asked people to immediately eliminate Avitus.
It has been a motto for Eliana, that to her, only the dead could not bear witness. If he wants to make Avitus a scapegoat, then he must also make Avitus no longer able to be a witness that could endanger him.
“Do you think your life is that precious as Avitus? No kidding. I don't have much time to joke with you.” Again Alvero said without turning his head to Avitus who seemed so desperate to see Alvero who seemed to have no intention of giving him any help.
